This brake series offers a robust solution for applications that require reliability in challenging conditions such as humidity, dust, and extreme temperatures. The BFK470 is designed to meet IP66 protection standards, ensuring that it operates efficiently even in dusty or moist surroundings (even with hand-release).

One of the key strengths of the BFK470 is its modular design, allowing for flexible integration across various industries such as intralogistics, machine tools, and energy technologies. Its compact form and the ability to handle a wide range of torque requirements, from 2 Nm to 370 Nm, make it suitable for numerous industrial applications. Additionally, its low maintenance needs and durable construction further enhance its value for long-term use.

Moreover, the BFK470's ability to perform in both holding and dynamic braking applications, combined with high switching energy capacity, ensures safety and stability in critical functions, such as emergency stopping in high-powered machinery.
